If Israel doesn’t want a ceasefire, what does it want? | The Bottom Line 

Netanyahu wants ALL of the land that Palestinians have & had.

The answer is simple it wants Gaza.

"If Israelis don't want to be accused of being like the Nazis, they simply need to stop behaving like Nazis." - Norman Finkelstein

Israel want all Palestinian lands

The word “Pause” is a joke! He sent billions worth of weapons already. It’s a complete insult to common intelligence.

It is making me feel deep shame for being Jewish and sadness and anger toward family members who support Israel. Never again, means never again for everyone. Feel for the Palestinian plight.

Israel's actions for the last 80 years have made it quite clear what they want. The US and Britain's actions are also clearly saying that they know what Israel wants and that they support it. All of these parties, Britain for about 100 years now, have been very consistent with their actions as it relates to this land and the people who live there. There is no need for any of them to verbalize what their intentions are. Actions speak louder than words.

Actually Palestinians are the Semite ,all the Isrealis are European converts,no one talks about the real semites.

NO Biden nor Trump

One thing must be changed in the Israeli society to offer equality for the Palestinian people who are still refugees with a continual reduction of their land by illegal settlements. The shipping people in from other countries and nations that will hold dual citizenship as "settlers" must be stopped immediately. Many of these land thieves are bad actors, who see an opportunity to steal, kill and destroy with impunity. Others see an opportunity to glean the benefits from where they come from and from low cost housing, free medical and other opportunities from moving to a land their ancestors from the time of Babylonian captivity, never lived in or even wanted to return to, once they were free to do so, and they were. I've found it difficult to stomach seeing so many people who are walking around with such pride and arrogance, enjoying all the benefits of this regime who are obviously not from the region due to not only their appearance, but also how they speak. As an American veteran I resent our tax dollars of billions upon billions going to support them. I'm not alone in this sentiment. Americans are sick of it and those who've just been made aware of it are outraged by it. The Israeli apartheid military regime is not a democracy. Just as the Palestinian Authority needs to be changed, so does this regime.

The hole land without the population oil and gas industry

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THE KILLING FIELDS OF CAMBODIA

Free Palestine

As an American I have noticed for some time most middle eastern policy is directed out of Jerusalem with only minor deviations tolerated. AIPAC and JDL are very powerful here full of vengeance and victimhood towards any one who dares to speak against Israel. Very sad experience for those of us who pay attention to Gaza horrors.

Not only does it want Gaza as its own territory it is banking on the idea that they will be able to secure the offshore gas that is off the Gaza border. They have explicitly told BPN on that they had interest in the area, and they wanted to sell the rights to dig multiple gas companies in the region. It is sheer, greed, and capitalistic resource bargaining. That is causing this.

This must be updated because the 1 billion in weapons went there!!

Netanyahu has already said that he plans to build settlements in Gaza, so obviously he wants g-cide. What are you even asking, AJ?

Land. Land for free. Access to oil reserves. And so on...

Thank you Al Jazzera and Daniel for trying to bring peace to the world.

1948. NEVER FORGET

I love Palestine, I'm from Bangladesh, free Palestine

Thats the problem with greedy people its want want want want

The devil in action

Death, Death for Lebensraum.

Steal land and more land for settlements.

Just look at the continuous settlements, the number of killings, the destruction of almost all Gaza, ignoring the international laws, the UN resolutions and so on,my answer is they want the whole land of Gaza, end of the debates

Biden, all words and no action. Period!

Israel wants a pureblood ethnostate and lebensraum. How terribly familiar.

Don't be daft. Land and resources obviously. There's lots on that side of the Atlantic to take yet.

LAND.........LAND..........LAND.......LAND.....

What a mess. What a catastrophe. What a tragedy. No stop to it?

I like how the guest calls the Israeli PM 'Nut'-anyahu , about right.

Land....Land.....Land......Land......Land...

They told the world exactly what they were going to do and they are doing it.

I think everyone knows what Israel wants. Israel is simply an extension of British colonial power. British was responsible for over 165 million death under its colonialism. But Israel is not UK empire. So it can only start small for land grab. And it doesn't have enough troop to colonize. So it is easier to get rid of people on the land and take them. Then they can build hotels and resorts to make money. Eventually if successful, it will expand to Egypt or Jordan.

Land, and the gas reserves that Israel swiped from the Palestinian Authority.

Well said Daniel

Peace is when there is an agreement that respects both sides needs .

It was the whole land that’s what. Action speak louder than words.

And what about palestinian hostages? There is public that cares very deeply about the thousands of palestinian Internet.

These ghouls want that beach front property and the 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas just off shore of Gaza

Shame on people's that can sell their conscience for petroleum peanut.

Netanyahu saving himself by blood of others

Great honest man Mr Levy. Much respect

It wants real estate. Money.

Israel want the whole land how ever they can acquire it!

a ceasefire after so much of destruction. israel lacks humanness.

Colonial empire building of a theocratic and fascist nature.

Its all about money, except that part which is about making Israel a one nation state. "Human animals"??? What are they on?

Real estate. Their stated goal is to be a welcoming home for every desiring member of their ethnic group around the world. To meet that goal they need ever expanding borders.

I’m not sure that the US wants this war to end.

Great interview

Land

They said without shame what they wanted, earlier if not most recently.

Land land land All the Warfare and War is about Land that will be our Survival and also the Graveyard

i know what they want they want all

Can we come to an agreement on the definition of anti Zionism as apposed to anti sémitismes, it may help clarify this conflict

Thank you so much Mr. Levi and Mr. Steve for the great analysis. ❤❤❤❤❤

Well targeted questions and impassioned and informative answers. Thank you both.

Lies, slavery and genocide are baked into Judaic/Zionist ideology. Deuteronomy 20: "10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. 16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes."

They won’t stop as they think they are unstoppable thanks to his father America

There is no international court of justice

They want the land for real estate and the oil that's under the gaza strip that's wat thay want .

Very shame for US government and Israeli government

World domination 😮

This was really good and reality based.

You speak truth. Thank you.

Sadly, it does seem like this war will go on for a while, I still get irritated every time someone calls those campus protests anti semitic. Being against Israel’s actions is not being against Jewish people. End this crisis NOW, PERMANENT CEASEFIRE NOW. To all those who have died, may you rest in peace and power. As a non Muslim, I pray that you will someday reunite with your family and friends in Jannah. I also pray that one day, Palestine and Israel’s children will live together in peace.

Land.

What else if not land?

Criticizing Israel is not anti-semitic

god bless palestine !

Dont they make use of a war situation to dig the Ben Gurion channel?

Let’s remember Israel was created on stolen Palestinian land and start there with 1948⁉️ What about the Palestinian prisoners taken hostage that if alive amount to more than 10 thousand in Israeli concentration camps?

I seen some RU-vid videos in which the Israelis think west Jordan is also Israel.

Well said. Hope your message gets around the world.

Land land land

They want the land for them only,,

This dude is asking GREAT questions! He knows what’s what, amirite?

It wants a non jew Israel. No... Blinkin sent weapons...😢

We often talk about the accountability of Israelis but what about the US and UK? Who would do,, if US and UK stop supporting Israel, then Israelis doesn't have the courage to maintain war and its hegemony,

The want the oil and gas off the coast of Gaza/Rafah.

They want the land so they can build a canal through it

Land and natural gas - duh

Since its birth, Israel wants as much of Palestine as possible with as few Palestinians as possible 🇵🇸

Israel is finished

All of Palestinian for themselves

The problem is there cant be an agreement with hamas They want hamas completely destroyed so it will be impossible to come to agreement for hostage release and ceasefire

Nitenyahoo (sic) is a great Gampler, keep losing all the way. Still looking for a win…!

Safety from Savages surrounding it

I love how Daniel Levy calls him NutAndYahoo 😂

Jewish couples in Brooklyn are planning to retire in Gaza after their kids finished college!! They've had plans for the land for years already!

No good solutions for either side and many with vested interests in continuing conflict = endless conflict

Messiah had already come.

From river to the sea ? So far without being so Palestinians aren’t treated equally and present set the future

Yes, Daniel Levy!! In every interview I've seen him, he's incredibly insightful, knowledgeable and precise, understanding the tetonic cultural shift towards learning about the Palestinian's plight and remind's me so much of the movement in the 80's to stop the Apartheid in South Africa. The curtain has been pulled back on Israel's myth of democracy, military supremacy and the 'most moral army' narrative and their neighbors have seen this...

Land's

Um. Maybe world domination.

Israel wants The Greater Israel.

They want to Rob
